Billie Eilish x Air Jordan 15 Sample Surfaces

A new Billie Eilish x Air Jordan 15 Sample has surfaced — and it’s one of her boldest creations yet. This unreleased pair, dubbed “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”, reimagines the silhouette with striking color and personal storytelling.

In contrast to her 2021 “Beige” Jordan 15, the shoe comes in a mustard yellow leather with a contrasting woven texture and vivid blue details across the tongue, lining, and pull tabs. On the outer side of the lateral is Billie’s hand-written signature saying, “When we all fall asleep, where do we go? “, a direct reference to her first album.

The rear heel tabs and sculpted midsole retain the futuristic DNA of the Jordan 15, while the color contrast delivers undeniable stage energy.

Unfortunately, this won’t be making its way to retail — it was made exclusively for Eilish and her crew.

That said, the release gives fans a look at what would have been one of her most expressive sneaker projects to date.

Sneaker Talk: OVO x Air Jordan 16 Sample

The OVO x Air Jordan 16 “White/Black/Infrared” Sample remains one of the rarest Drake collaborations to ever surface. First seen years ago as part of the OVO inner circle’s exclusive stash, this unreleased sample takes the silhouette Michael Jordan wore during his second return to the NBA and gives it a modern twist.

Originally launched in 2001, the Air Jordan 16 marked MJ’s comeback with the Washington Wizards, standing out for its removable shroud and luxury design cues. This OVO version keeps that DNA alive with a crisp white patent leather toe, black suede overlays, and a flashy infrared outsole paired with yellow midsole hits that recall early-2000s energy.

Inside, Drake’s October’s Very Own (OVO) touch is unmistakable — a gold owl logo graces the footbed. Like past OVO x Jordan releases, this one blurs the line between sport and luxury.

Only a handful of these pairs exist, making them a collector’s dream. On resale platforms like GOAT, prices reflect their rarity — a size 11.5 lists around $3,309, while a size 12 goes for about $1,834.

Which OVO x Jordan collab do you think deserves a wider release?
